These lemon curd whole wheat pancakes are moist, thin and fluffy. Very easy to make and perfectly paired with fresh raspberries and pure maple syrup. There is no lemon curd in them. I’ve named them “lemon curd” pancakes, because of the cottage cheese used in the recipe.

Madeleines are an amazing little snack I used to have all the time as a child in Paris. They’re easy to make, incredibly tasty (seriously, try eating just one!), and in my opinion, carry an elegance that’s lost when serving most alternatives—for example, cupcakes.

Wow your dinner guests with this easy Braised Lamb Chops with Cranberry-Harissa Chutney recipe! Perfectly flavored fall-off-the-bone tender perfection. If you don’t want to make the cranberry chutney, you can just use the wine-lemon braising liquid as a gravy. Delicious!

After all those delicious holiday cookies and treats, I’m ready for a bit of lighter fare. I’m thinking salads. Lots and lots of loaded salads are in my near future. And with a fabulous loaded salad, you’ve got to have an awesome dressing. The dressing is pretty much the most important part. It gets slathered all over the entire thing, so it’s gotta be kinda perfect.

This Herb Mustard Vinaigrette is the ultimate salad dressing. My future mother-in-law whipped up a salad for us with this dressing and I pretty much fell in love. I tweaked a few things here and there and the result is delicious. You can throw this on any kind of salad, with or without protein, and it’s going to be great!

Okay, here’s how to do it.

Start with an empty jar with a lid. I’m all about easy cleanup, so the jar is just perfect. You add all the ingredients, shake it up, and then store it in the fridge. No cleanup at all!

Add some freshly chopped garlic…

A few chopped shallots…

A dollop or two of whole grain Dijon mustard…

Some dried oregano…

Followed by some dried parsley.

Throw in some freshly cracked black pepper.

And a sprinkle of flaky salt.

Next, pour in some red wine vinegar.

And a healthy pour of olive oil.

Top it off with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Tightly put the top back on. This is key. Otherwise you’ll have a giant mess.

Shake, shake, shake. And shake, shake, shake some more!

Then use it for all of your salads!

This dressing keeps well in the fridge for about a week. Just let it come to room temperature about 30 minutes before using it!

It’s particularly delicious on spinach salads with chicken. Or steak. Ok, it’s just awesome. You have to give it a try!

I made salad dressing last night, Balsamic Vinaigrette. Wish I’d read your tip about making sure the lid is on tight before shaking!!! I got a vinaigrette shower!! All over my face, hair, clothes! Luckily, I still had enough dressing for my salad! haha Making dressing is so simple and tastes so much better than store bought I wonder why I don’t do it more often. I will try your recipe next time!
